I'd like  to find out just what the 
primary commodity or product was that the EL  carried to New Castle and 
if they interchanged with anyone in New Castle.  At that time the B&O, 
Pennsylvania (Penn Central) and P&LE all  served New Castle in addition 
to the EL. I believe that Steve Timko  mentioned that the New Castle run 
lasted up until Conrail  day.

I never had the opportunity to ride the New Castle Local and I don't  believe 
that I ever saw it operating but I did dispatch it hundreds of  times.  There 
were some tube mills and structural steel plants on the line,  a water 
treatment plant at New Castle and there was an interchange with the  B&O at New 
Castle.  
 
Cal Banse---Can you further advise since it was in your backyard so to  speak?
